Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in Laguna Beach’s coveted Top of the World neighborhood, this meticulously redesigned residence offers a rare blend of storybook charm and modern sophistication. Thoughtfully reimagined by respected local designers Andra and Ellie Miller, the home reflects their signature approach: craftsmanship, impeccable taste, and design choices that endure well beyond trends.
From the moment you arrive, it’s clear this is not just a renovation—it’s a restoration of character, elevated for contemporary living.
Inspired by the warmth and character of a classic Laguna cottage, the home pairs timeless architectural details with the comforts and conveniences of newer construction. Wide oak plank floors flow throughout, setting a warm, cohesive foundation that’s complemented by custom lighting and beautifully remodeled bathrooms finished in artisanal Zellige tile.
The main residence features four bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms, offering generous space for both everyday living and hosting guests. Every corner of the home reflects intentional design, from custom built-ins to thoughtfully planned storage and closet systems throughout.
At the heart of the home lies a fully remodeled kitchen that effortlessly blends beauty and function. Marble countertops, custom cabinetry, and handcrafted Zellige tile create a refined yet inviting aesthetic, while premium Thermador appliances ensure the space performs as beautifully as it looks.
A breakfast bar and dedicated bar area (complete with a wine refrigerator) anchor the kitchen as a true gathering space. Open sight-lines connect seamlessly to the dining and living areas, creating a natural flow ideal for both daily living and entertaining.
The living room centers around a cozy wood-burning fireplace, offering a warm focal point for relaxed evenings at home. Upstairs, the primary suite serves as a peaceful retreat, featuring a private balcony and expansive picture window that frames unobstructed, preserved mountain views—a signature hallmark of Top of the World living.
Custom built-ins include a concealed electric television mount designed to disappear when not in use, allowing the surrounding landscape to remain the true focal point. It’s a subtle but thoughtful detail that underscores the home’s design philosophy: let nature take center stage.
Adding to the home’s versatility is a fully updated detached ADU, complete with a full bathroom and kitchenette. Whether used as guest quarters, a private home office, creative studio, or potential income opportunity, this space expands the home’s functionality without compromising privacy or style.
The exterior of the property has been equally refined. Recent improvements include a new roof, new driveway and patios, an epoxy-finished garage with an electric car charger, and all-new landscaping. An antique limestone fountain adds a timeless focal point, while custom vegetable garden boxes invite a lifestyle rooted in both beauty and sustainability.
Every upgrade was selected with longevity and quality in mind, resulting in a home that feels as good as it looks.
Situated in one of Laguna Beach’s most desirable hillside neighborhoods, the home offers exceptional proximity to everyday conveniences and outdoor adventure alike. Just down the street from award-winning Top of the World Elementary, and moments from Thurston Middle School, Alta Laguna Park, and miles of hiking and biking trails, the location supports an active, connected lifestyle.
Downtown Laguna Beach and the coast are only a short distance away, making it easy to enjoy world-class dining, art, beaches, and community events whenever the mood strikes.
Homes of this caliber—where thoughtful design, high-end finishes, and an exceptional location converge—rarely come to market. This Top of the World residence represents a unique opportunity to own a meticulously renovated home that honors Laguna Beach’s architectural heritage while embracing modern living at its finest.
For those seeking timeless design, preserved views, and a true sense of place, this home stands apart.
